I was only quoting the report.  However TIFF is not a graphic format but
a format for describing graphic formats, and may will include attributes to
cover things like creation dates.

T stands for tag and TIFF is about the tag/value pairs that describe the 
images much more than the actual content of the images.  In particular,
tools like faxinfo only look at the tag/value pairs, not the image.
